after unlocking the bootloader will warranty be void ? n after unlocking bootloader can i relock my bootloader if yes then how ?
I doubt it voids the warranty but someone correct me if I am wrong, I didn't see any warnings / notices that it would be void, maybe if you unlock it unofficially they could probably say something, and you can re-lock it by either re-flashing a stock miui through fasboot.

Unlocking bootloader or rooting never void your warranty

Does the rooting avoid warranty in Ray?
I also want to unlock the bootloader to install CWM, how to relock it and to restore the phone without cwm just in case to send it to service center?
unofficial unlocking
oh my God..
this issue discussed in too much topics..
If you unlocked the bootloader with unofficial method without loosing DRM
than you can try to reflash with Wotan to the stock and then relock bootloader
and 95% that the service center they will not suspect anything
but dont forget what is the warrenty case.
if the reason of breakage is a factory production defect
than THEY will PAY for REPAIR
if YOU will break your phone then YOU will PAY for REPAIR
Thanks mate, I'm quite newbie in android

well test point method is better because by following this method you will never lose drm keys and in official method you will lose these keys and you will never get it back. and your warrenty will be avoided in official method even if you relock the bootloader.
Official method.
Phone went to warranty, relocked bootloader, flashed stock firmware, had no problems. Touchscreen was replaced due to installing wrong ROM.
I have rooted, but my bootloader never had "unlocked" text, I say it this way and not just "my bootloader isn't unlocked" because I'm not sure if it is unlocked or not.
Is my warranty void already? If so I'm giong to unlock the bootloader and add AOKP rom!
In my country (Turkey) rooting the device voids the warranty. In case someone needs to send his phone to service, he needs to unroot first.
Also you need to go into recovery by holding power + volume down buttons together at startup, and see which recovery you have installed. Is it the CWM or the moto recovery? If CWM, you're already unlocked. Unlocking bootloader obviously voids warranty, no hesitation about it.

Unrooting your device is really easy, so no worry about that. If you flashed a sbf file to your device, your bootloader is unlocked

Technically, your warranty is void. But if you just delete the Superuser app it is doubtful anyone will notice.
If you don't see "unlocked" on your splash screen, then your bootloader is locked.

You can flash an sbf with a locked bootloader. Remember, that is how we unlock the bootloader.
Hi guys, I'd like to unlock my Xperia Ray's bootloader, but I don't want my warranty to be void. I know this is impossilbe, but it seems it is possible to get it back by relocking the bootloader, like on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1862045
So, I was about to unclock my bootloader because I was sure I could send back my phone to warranty in case it would have a problem. :laugh:
But then I saw this other thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752009
So I'm getting confused, will relocking my bootloader get my warranty back ?
Help me please
Cant say really ...
it's like a lottery ...
It's at the total discretion on sony's part to grant you warranty ...
Unlocking BL will erase the DRM which cant be restored even if BL is locked ...
Just assume ,your warranty is void when you unlock BL ..
Okay.
I'll wait my warranty to be finished to unlock my bootloader then. :good:
Thanks for your help.
If anyone has more informations though, post it here please.
I've brought this phone recently and I just want to know if I unlock the bootloader officially then will I lose warranty?
I read it somewhere that even if I unlock bootloader and use the stock miui rom (or after having a problem return to miui) then it would be covered under warranty.
please clear my doubts about the warranty stuff
No, unlocking the bootloader will not cause you to loose the warranty. If it did, Xiaomi wouldn't have you to create an account and apply and wait for permissions to unlock the bootloader in the first place. But if you install a custom rom/firmware and the phone sustains some kind of damage, you might want to re-flash original MIUI before sending it in for repair or they might reject it.

thanks for replying
when I was unlocking my moto e (1st gen) I had to get some code from the company website and they would void the warranty, then
same goes for zenfone 5 where I had to use an official apk to unlock and they void the warranty too
but thank you ,its good to know
I want to ask one more question
during the procedure of sending unlock request I read that unlocking bootloader would serve as service end. what does that mean?
Unlocking bootloader will not void warranty.
Only installing custom ROMs will void warranty.
Well if you email them, they do say it WILL void warranty.
well I have to get root and xposed either now or later.. thanks everybody
I've just read a screenshot from an e-mail by xiaomi on MIUI forum which stated unlocking bootloader voids warranty.
I was denied warranty for flashing official ROM. Xiaomi is an awful company to deal with.
